If one enjoys morally grey characters, this book is a perfect read. I loved the equation between Seraphine and Felix, that is bound to hook readers. I enjoyed how Seraphine's character blooms slowly but elegantly. The book has a gloomy mysteries atmosphere that makes it a page turner. Fantastic dialogues and slow-burn romance takes this book to another level. The language is easy but graceful. It's commendable how the author...
